Rath try spell damage? It doesnt pay attention to armor but heros only take 75% of the damage ( regardless of armor ). To change the 75% go into your Game Play constants and look under the Hero armor type ( or the Spell damage type o_O ).
Don't[/] set life to a new value unless ur desprate... No exp or gold will be given for kills if you do...
Hope this helps...

Chaos damage ignores armour in that it does 100% damage to everything before armour amount is taken into account. However, it's fully possible for a Chaos-type attack to do 3% damage of its total damage to something with 500 armour, regardless of the armour type.
In short, Chaos damage set to default ignores armour type, but not all armour.

Actually, spell damage ignores armor, it does not ignore armor type though but that can be fixed in game play constants. A unit with 10 hp and 99999999999999999999 armor of type normal will die when hit with 11 spell damage but survive when hit by 100000 chaos damage. I ran damage tests and and my results on spell damage ignoring armor is positive.

Thanks for trying to help, but that has already been addressed.

Please read previous posts, and try to make yours a little more legible. Punctuation helps.
